Not military, but... I have a bit of common sense.

Anyone trying to dodge service - especially using this as a justification - would be in a world of hurt.

An Army MP (Airborne, too, I think) used to live a couple doors down from me. I’d rather not imagine what he looks like while doing his job. ;)

Sort of like the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Ben Franklin, who was one of them (he also signed the Constitution) is supposed to have said

We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately."

-In the Continental Congress just before signing the Declaration of Independence, 1776.
